The number
of refugees and undocumented migrants who enter Greece through its eastern sea
borders has skyrocketed over the past year, reports the Greek Office of the
United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and calls for immediate assistance by the
EU.

By the end
of August, 22,089 people had entered the country through the eastern Aegean Sea
this year, marking a dramatic increase of 223.22% compared to 2013. The
situation is expected to aggravate even further, with 8,000 people having
crossed the border in September alone.
